Love them BLT's, with fresh vine ripened tomatoes, I had two for lunch yesterday and I think I will have them again today. My garden is not doing as well as last year. I got a late start do to taking a month's Vacation.

I have dug up at least 10 five gallon buckets of potatoes. Boy those Yukon Gold really produce. Better than the Pontiac Reds and the Kennibeck whites. Seed potatoes are all the same price, and this is the first year I tried Yukon Gold. It won't be the last year, I can tell you that. I'm getting double the yield in my sandy ground.

I picked the first 2 handfuls of yellow cherry tomatoes yesterday. They are sweet as candy.

My corn has a long ways to go.

Generally my garden is doing good. We need rain real bad.

pole beans are blooming and have lot's of little one inch beans. Won't be long, in a couple days we will have bushels.

i've been getting a handfull of yellow cherry tomatos from the two plants i have for about two weeks. The peppers aren't doing very well,might be needing another shot of M G . ,however since the recent rain,things are very lush.

I been pickin yellow straight neck squash and zeukini, (dang i can't spell) cucumbers, jalipino and bell peppers. Pole beans are starting to make and the okra is beginning to bloom. The maters are doing okay considering the fact i almost burnt them up. Like a goard head, i poured miracle grow over the tops a few times. They grew like weeds till they started wilting and the limbs began to die.Lesson learned:confused2:

our garden hasnt been too bad, got a late start because of all the rain, but crook neck squash, tomatoes, and cucumbers have been doing well, I see a few watermellons thats almost ready. Corn is almost ready also, although they didnt make very big this year. Tons of cucumbers, Jennie will be putting up lots of pickles this year oooh:. Having fried squash tonight with fresh mators.

Living in a concrete jungle and using buckets aint working. It was ok until lucifer cranked up the heat. I got some bell peppers started inside for the winter crop. Well see how that goes. I am trying some fruit seeds now. I plan to buy a house soon, so figured Ill try to get something started now.

I am joining you guys next year, 1st time I have ever taken a whack at it. Going to be fun... :wink:

Aint nothin to it, get you an farmers almanac it will tell ya when to plant. Old Timers went by the "signs" all the old timers in my family is gone cept for pop, so I rely on the almanac. This mean you about to retire Paul ?

Ozzy, go to 55 gallon barrels, cut em in half drill you some holes for drainage, we used to do that when I didnt have any means to break ground, still do it for potatoes, easier to dump than dig LOL. :wink:

I have no problem sharing corn with the birds & raccoons. I have no problem sharing my beans with rabbits. I have no problem sharing my tomatoes with the squirrels. I don't mind sharing at all. I just wish they would share with me a little.

i tried your container gardening here on the back deck.

i grow romas for my salsa. there more beef than goo. i aint a tomato man. lol. less go it good.:smile2: so i used one of my huge pots i used to have houseplants in. and planted 1 beefmaster tomato for wife. she eats them. that saved room in garden. and its the only one thats had a ripe one so far.

and i had some extra pots so i went ahead and planed 5-6 peppers in some too. there doing well. they dry up quicker but they are doing as good and better than my garden plants right now.:wink:
